Seattle Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon boating is a dynamic water sport originating from China, blending teamwork, speed, and tradition. Rhythmic drumbeats set the pace as teams of paddlers synchronize their strokes to race the dragon-headed boats. Come watch the races, enjoy cultural performances, food trucks and community vendors – a family friendly festival on the lake – even the Kraken will be there! You can even take a ride in a dragon boat to learn first hand about the sport. Free admission for the public.
